Sangui Bio Tech International Inc. - Over 500 Customers: Granulox Sales Ahead of Planning

WITTEN, Germany, August 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

SastoMed GmbH, global licensee of the Sangui patented wound spray, has submitted the announced report covering the first 100 days of Granulox product sales. The report is available on http://www.sastomed.de. Its results meet and in some parts considerably exceed the expectations which were directed at the joint venture company by SanguiBioTech GmbH as the licenser. SastoMed assumes that the initial investments will have amortized by 2014. Before that already, Sangui will participate in each Euro of revenue in Germany and abroad and will profit by the considerable growth dynamic.

The sales strategy is based on an exemplary assessment of the complex health market the accuracy of which is underpinned by the presented sales progress. Until July 31, the sales force had arranged for almost 4,800 meetings and handed over more than 1,000 samples. After no more than 100 days about 500 customers have been registered as actively purchasing the product. With this customer base SastoMed are ahead of planning. In addition, the sales team is present at most conferences, trade shows or workshops dedicated to wound management. The communication with opinion leaders and the expert public will now be complemented by an extensive advertising campaign in the consumer media and the internet. Still, personal contact and practical experience are decisive to convince the users.  

As had been expected according to the findings of Sangui research and development, impressive documentation of successful wound treatments underline the excellent efficacy of Granulox in everyday health care practice. For some time it had been known among medical researchers that there is a correlation between hypoxia and impeded wound healing. Thanks to its research focus on oxygen Sangui was the first and only company to draw the right conclusions and to develop a hemoglobin based technology which actually and effectively enhances the oxygen supply and thus supports wound therapies.

The growing dynamics in penetrating the market will even increase further next year according to SastoMed: Overall another 5,000 doctors and 500 hospitals are planned to be gained to regularly administer Granulox in Germany alone. At the same time internationalizing the business will move up on the agenda. The current positive experiences made in Germany will among others also lead to entrusting the leadership in operating sales in Mexico to SastoMed - for the sake of a consistent market appearance and in accordance with the Mexican partners. In parallel, market entry in Austria, the United Kingdom and Turkey are under preparation. Additional European markets are planned to be addressed in 2014. The international business will be directed by a top marketing and sales manager with international track record. More details will be disclosed after the signing of the final articles of employment.

Hubertus Schmelz, Managing Director of SanguiBioTech GmbH, was impressed by these preliminary statements: "We at Sangui are particularly proud of the fact that our yearlong focus on this technology was the right move. We are especially glad to obtain such a positive response from competent experts, who confirm our great expectations. And we are delighted to see how many patients now experience the benefits of Granulox treatment. Our strategic decision to transfer marketing and sales of the Sangui developed technology to highly professional partners has proven to be the best possible choice. We support this intense growth course also on the financial side and intend to push-start the international activities. We can foresee that beginning end of this year but increasingly so over the years to come the positive cash flow from the joint venture company will more than justify our decisions."
